Foat
Design is a small,
independent business, created and run by twin sisters, Kaja and Zoë Foat. We are
faithful students of yoga, and are trained Jivamukti Yoga instructors. Our two
complementary lines-- Foat Couture, and Urban Yoga Wear--grew out of clothing
that we created for ourselves while pursuing yoga training in New York. With
working backgrounds in art and fashion, the idea of making our clothing
available through an earth-conscious business came to us naturally. We opened
the Foat Design Studio in Minneapolis in 2002, and have been growing steadily
ever since.

As a company, Foat
Design
is dedicated to making durable, functional, and stylish products specifically
for those who want to maintain a healthy, earth-conscious lifestyle coupled with
a modern, urban life. Our designs move comfortably in yoga class, and make a
fashion statement on the move.

We are sweatshop free. All products are custom manufactured locally to ensure a
high standard of quality, maintain the integrity of our designs, and to support
the workforce of our community. Many items are one-of-a-kind and all items have
a short run, meaning fabric and color may change often. We research and select
the best materials we can find to design attractive clothes that are easy to
maintain and have the least amount of harm on the earth.

Our mission at Foat Design
is to protect the earth by reusing, revamping, and rediscovering. We'd like to
think of ourselves as apparel salvagers and pioneers in recycling clothes and
fabrics. We move away from mass production and toward individuality. We
encourage people to be as dedicated as we are on cutting down on waste.

We treat each item in the Foat Couture
line as its own individual task. We re-construct clothing by making pockets out
of cuffs, dresses out of sweaters, skirts out of blouses, etc., and therefore
produce one-of-a-kinds. This is why this brand is sold in specialty stores. Our
Urban
Yoga Wear
is made from materials with the highest count of natural fibers and a smaller
percentage of elasticity to keep its shape and comfort. Both our lines have
American standard sizing: Extra Small (0-2), Small (4-6), Medium (8-10), Large
(12-14). All items are handmade to perfection. Although we work as fast as we
can, it may take up to 4 weeks to receive your order.

It is no surprise that many of our earth's resources are being threatened by the
actions humans have taken and continue to take. Each time you choose a product
that is environmentally conscious, you make a difference.
